I usually set the hubs a bight tight when wheel building then after the wheel is completed I revisit the bearing adjustment. Yes, the strain of the spoke tension does expand the hub shell a tiny bit and thus a bearing adjustment can loosen a tad, just like when mounting and inflating a tire on that wheel will slightly reduce the spoke tension.
